Children In Sync is working to reach more children in Erbil

Displacement is really a big issue in Iraq, with an estimated one million children having been internally displaced. Through all these moves kids often lose out on an entire school year of education.

Not far from Erbil we noticed a camp that houses around 1500 internally displaced people, most of whom fled Mosul in 2014.

We arranged a meeting with the staff from the #UN who welcomed our plans for the Children In Sync Arts and Music Summer Camp 2018. They agreed that this project will be effective and that there is a need for CIS’ workshops that supports the development of children. They offered connecting us with UNHCR and UNICEF and hopefully we will be making a visit to the Harsham IDP Camp some time very soon!!
